Aker BP builds an AI-first future with Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI agents

As an independent oil and gas company, Aker BP is always searching for ways to become more efficient and gain a competitive edge in the industry. So, it embarked on an AI-powered transformation as an early adopter of Microsoft 365 Copilot technology. The company partnered with Microsoft to implement Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio, building AI agents to streamline day-to-day tasks, improve access to tools, and lay the groundwork for scalable automation.

Why it matters

Automation used to mean wiring up rigid rules. Agents can handle the messy, in-between steps that rules miss, which makes many more workflows worth automating. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Automation on Agent Sightings (number 37 by interest), and one of 116 involving Copilot Studio.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Copilot Studio or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

I want an agent to take on this workflow, show its working, and wait for approval on anything that changes a system or contacts someone. The tool in the source case was Copilot Studio.

Saved

Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
